[0002] A dry etcher is a device that uses high-energy ion beams or plasma to physically or chemically etch semiconductor materials. In chip production, a dry etcher is a key device that is mainly used to perform precise etching operations during chip manufacturing. The main etching gas in the dry etching process is boron trichloride, which is a colorless, toxic and harmful gas. Boron trichloride is heated to change from liquid to gas and then introduced into the cavity. It undergoes a chemical or physical reaction with the product through plasma to achieve a process of etching the product. The equipment needs to be maintained after a certain number of days of use. Because boron trichloride gas is introduced into the dry etching process, a large amount of toxic and pungent chlorinated substances will remain in the chamber. Therefore, a purge action is required before maintenance to clean the chamber through reaction to reduce the odor in the chamber and ensure personnel safety.
[0003] The existing dry etcher for chip production still has the following problems. The existing devices generally use suction to clean and reduce the odor in the chamber. A dry etcher for chip production disclosed in a patent application with reference to publication number CN217933732U uses air replacement to remove chlorides in the reaction chamber, thereby greatly improving the cleaning efficiency and solving the technical problem of low efficiency caused by using gas purge to remove toxic gases in the reaction chamber of the etcher in the prior art.
